Ebrahim Zonoozi et al. J Res Med Sci. 2009 May.

Abstract

Volar lunate dislocation is the fourth and last stage of perilunate dislocation. It is an uncommon injury of the wrist and its bilateral occurrence is so rare that only one case has been reported in the literature. We are presenting the second case of this kind of wrist injury, its treatment and outcome.

Keywords: Bilateral; Dislocation; Lunate Bone; Perilunate; Volar Plate.
